Feature Development - Time Dependence - Internally

[tyounkin]

This issue is the high-level view of the development work going in to time-dependence.
Time-dependence is the tracking of time dependent erosion, impurity migration, and deposition of material and includes..

• Build up examples in repository

  • ProtoMPEX
  • CPC example
  • Simple fluid theory
  • ITER He case
  • DiMES example

• Time-dependent density tracking (persistent source)

• time-dependent source

• time-dependent SOLPS profiles (on SOLPS grid)

[tyounkin]

Option for input should probably be an integer that corresponds to
0 - Off, no time dependence. Run in original GITR algorithm, solving steady state solution with persistent source
1 - On and use time-dependent density tracking (only)
2 - On and use time-dependent density tracking AND non-constant source (non-uniform particle initialization time)
3 - On and use time-dependent density tracking AND non-constant source AND time-varying background plasma profiles

Rules for examples in the repository:

1. File size - 200kb for an input deck maximum
2. File type - text only, cfg files are fine, we want python to generate inputs.
3. Processing/checking answers - need to have python text file
4. Integration into ctest or different test harness - generate and test answers
